Spurling kerrison rongeur working length 203mm, regular footplate angled up 40° 1.0mm bite medium handle

Controlled Access with an Angled 1mm Bite

The Spurling Kerrison rongeur is a hand-operated surgical instrument used to remove small amounts of bone or tissue during controlled access and preparation. This configuration combines a 203mm working length with a regular footplate angled 40° upward and a 1mm bite, helping the operator approach a defined area with a measured, task-focused bite. Its medium handle supports familiar manual handling during repetitive instrument work. Suitable for workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it offers a practical option when reach, bite direction, and compact removal are important considerations. The angled profile can support access where a straight approach is less convenient, subject to professional technique and facility protocol.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled nibbling or removal of small amounts of bone or tissue in General Surgery workflows.
• Support access and preparation tasks in Neurosurgery where an upward-directed bite is appropriate.
• Use the 203mm working length when additional reach is needed within the operative field.
• Apply the 1mm bite for measured, incremental removal rather than broad engagement.
• Use the angled footplate to approach areas where a straight instrument orientation is less convenient.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Handle the biting edges carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent damage.
• Store in a manner that protects the angled footplate and bite from contact with other instruments.
